Did a lot on research on Sia, StorJ and Maidsafe - Sia is my favourite by far.
- Great, transparent team with good roadmap (Seriously, there is no other project-lead with such great community interaction)
- Nameworthy investors backing the project (Li Xiaolai just gave them a 400k grant to expand their team https://sia.tech/2017grant/)
- Mineable, no ICO
- Upcoming ASICs to strengthen network
- Rising development on top of the Sia network (eg. MineBox with HP cooperation)
In my opinion definitely a Top 10 coin in 2018 - I can only recommend to check out their reddit /r/siacoin.
